Your Stars
THEMBEKILE SENNE
September 18 1971, Joburg, 14h00 Sun sign: Virgo
Moon sign: Virgo
Rising sign: Aquarius
You have two distinct sides to your personality. One is obedient, organised and happy to do as it’s told. The other is rebellious, creative and forward thinking. That part of you has big plans and doesn’t appreciate putting them on hold. There are powerful internal changes happening for you now, taking all your energy. You’re asking yourself what you believe in, and where your life is going. Is it time to start a business? Are you qualified to handle a new venture? In fact, this short break from your life is exactly what you need. You have the chance to think about your own needs. Yes, there are people to care for. But you’re also carving out a small space for yourself – showing others how to manage their lives. By year end, you’ll be in a different universe – delighted with all the decisions you made while you had the chance.
ARIES
Mar 21 - April 19
Punched a few holes in the wall and decided the universe hates you? Understandable. If you’re alone, there’s no-one around to get on your nerves. But very few of you are alone at a time like this. You would have made sure of that. The full moon on Wednesday is in your sign of lovers. Which means, if you want to make sure you’re still loved when the drama is over, you’ll have to be nice.
TAURUS
Apr 20 - May 20
Nurturing your beetroot seedlings so you’ll have something to eat when the apocalypse arrives? Making funeral arrangements “just in case” anything happens? Calm down before you give yourself a heart attack. Stress is a killer. You need to find distractions to keep you sane. Wednesday’s full moon brings out your most powerful emotions. Use them to show everyone how much you care.
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
How about writing your life story? You’ve been meaning to do it for years and now you have the time. And with Wednesday’s full moon in your house of children, you’ll be happy to whip out your inner child and entertain the kids. Or make some new ones. Your health is fantastic now, so get back on that treadmill and watch your muscles grow. The goddess of love and beauty has just moved in. Don’t waste it.
CANCER
June 21 - Jul 22
All this emotion; all this courage; all the group energy reminding us we’re in it together. It’s all too much for you, and you’re on the verge of a weepathon. There’s no better time to explore emotional depths, especially with Wednesday’s supermoon adding to the intensity. Then when you’ve poured your heart out to yourself, stand up and resurrect your enormous courage. Your strength is needed now.
LEO
Jul 23 - Aug 22
You’re the one singing on the balcony, entertaining the masses. But if there aren’t any masses, you’re languishing on the couch, staring at the TV. Don’t let this creative spark pass without a mention. Your health is taking strain and you’re in need of additional care. What heals you most is a chance to create. So get out your paints or your tap shoes.
VIRGO
Aug 23 - Sep 22
Your health would be fabulous were it not for that urge to binge on comfort food. Make it a fat month – or give yourself one treat a day. Don’t fret about turning into a slug. By May, you’ll be back on the treadmill. You’re giving health tips to anyone who’s listening. In fact, you’re probably one of those health workers, slaving away in the dark. Give yourself permission to be less than perfect. It’s that kind of week.
LIBRA
Sep 23 - Oct 22
Stale relationships and outdated decisions are starting to affect your brain. Are you going nuts? Or is this outrageous display of rebellion something that’s been coming for a while? No. This is your way of coping with an impossible situation – one in which you’re not even required to comb your hair. The point is, you’re almost ready to make some changes. But you’ll want to be sane when you make them. Wait till you can breathe fresh air again.
SCORPIO
Oct 23 - Nov 21
Grinding your teeth? Get a bite plate from your dentist. Sure, the better option would be to soothe yourself into a calmer place. But meanwhile, your teeth are being ground to stumps, your head and shoulders are in knots, and your jaw alignment has gone for good. Find ways to take care of yourself. You deserve nurturing. Ask for a massage.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21
Your health planets are on leave, taking with them your stomach, kidneys, hips, shoulders, lungs and intestines. Pay attention to the signs and do what must be done. A little nurturing is needed. Also, if your family is more demanding than usual, smile indulgently. It won’t last. They’re just inhaling your extraordinary strength. Give them what they need – and then take some time for yourself.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20
Ever heard this: the height of stupidity lies in doing the same thing while expecting a different result? Even so, there are times when, no matter how desperately you hang on to the past, its fragments are ripped from your grasp. Think of this month’s events as a portent for changes coming up. Pay attention to your dreams, they’re particularly noisy now. Meanwhile, ask yourself how it feels to let someone else make the decisions for a while.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20 - Feb 18
Emotional trauma is something you usually avoid. Not anymore. And because an upsurge of deep feeling is so strange for you, it’s making you feel ill. Calm down. Emotions are normal and healthy. Let them in. Besides, if you block your emotions, you block your creative flow too. They come from the same place.
PISCES
Feb 19 - Mar 20
Wednesday’s full moon is a supermoon, making your emotions even more powerful than usual. If you have someone with you, make it a romantic night. If not, pamper yourself with every available delight. If you must be emotional, opt for passion instead of despair. Write down your thoughts. You’re tuning into global energies. Plenty of people will benefit from what you’ve seen.
